BRILLIANT RACE OF A DOG.
June Bug: Express Is Defeated Jumbo,
a Setter Belonging to Rufus Hunter,
Runs Even With Statesvllle Train
From tluntersville to Charlotte.
Charlotte Observer.
Rufus II. Hunter, the voung brother
of Mr. Leonard L. Hunter, the archi
tect, of this city, has a bitr Better dog
named Jumbo who won renown yes
terday by racing: even with the June
ling .bxpress from Huntersville to
this cit3", a distance of fourteen miles.
1 he June Bug Express, which is
sometimes known as the regularpas
senger train running on the Atlantic,
ennessee & Ohio Railway, reached
Huntersville yesterday morning just
before noon. Jumtio. a large, hand
some dog, followed Rufus Hunter, his
master, to the station, and when the
train came and young Hunter board-
d it, Jumbo climbed up on the car.
le was shoved awav: Hunter took
s seat, and the June Bug Express,
traveling under the guidance of Capt.
om Rowland, resumed its spirited
ourney.
Ihe train had not been running
many minutes betore Capt. Rowland
touched Hunter on the shoulder and
said:
"Come here and look."
Hunter followed him to tire rear of
the train. Far down the straight
track was discernible a small but
tpidly moving body, running in the
middle of the track. It was Jumbo,
lalf a mile in the rear.
There are only two stations be
ween Huntersville and Charlotte
Croft and Derita. Just before Croft
was reached Jumbo had disappeared
rom view, and it was assumed that
le had gotten tired like a sensible
log and had returned home. By the
time the train reached Croft the pas
sengers and tne engineer naa heard
f Jumbo's gallant pursuit and were
cry much interested in the matter.
The Express remained only a few
minutes at Crott, and then started
away on a quick run. Keiore it naa
gone any groat distance Capt. Row-
and again approached Hunter. He
tad a strained, nervous look on his
ace.
'I am not certain about the mat
ter," he said. "It can't be true, but
wish you d comeback here and take
mother look.
Again the two men went to the
end of the rear coach. Silently Row-
ind held out a hand and pointed.
Way in the distance was a moving
bodv, still running between the rails.
The head was thrown back slightly,
ind it could be seen that there was
determination in every spring.
"That," said Mr. Hunter, "is Jum
bo."
All the passengers became excited
over the pluck and prowess of Jumbo.
The conductor and the engineer be
anie bored. The June Bug Express
to be beaten bv a dosr a mere setter
log named Jumbo, from Hunters
ville! What ignominy!
The engine made an extra spurt,
and when Derita was reached no
Jumbo was to be seen. Quickly the
trainmen attended to the little work
to be done at that small station, and
the train went away with a jerk and
roar, and an evident purpose to
eave Jumbo beyond all reckoning.
But t hat setter dog was deep-lunged
and game to the heart. It was clear
that he had not been fully advised as
to how far the tram would go, or
when it would stop, but he was cer
tain of one thing: it carried hisyoung
master, and therefore it was a thing
to be pursued so long as his limbs
gave him strength to run.
Derita is only hve nines irom town.
One mile out of Derita passengers
standing on the rear of the June Bug
looked far off in t he distance and saw
a faint speck, an atom that sped
alonsr on the railway track-
Tom Rowland was grim and per
plexed. The engineer was vexed, and
nerniitted to June l5ug to do an z
knew how. The passengers were mak-
insr even bets.
There was a long, silent look, ana
then
"The doer s training! said a voice.
It was even so. The broad, deep
chest of Jumbo, his long, supple legs,
and that positive character-set of his
head, were not criven to him lor not a
ing. Tired he must have been after
his mad race of ten miles, but his
ambition and the love that was
Rinn-inir in his soul spurred him on
- tn
and on.
And, while Tom Rowland softly
swore. Jumbo gained on that June
Bur Express, the pride of States
ville and the clory of Alexander
county.
When the su bur Lis were reacnea
Jumbo was in plain view. His second
wind had come to him. lie had set
tied to a swinging movement that
had been unknown to him as he had
farmed shifting serai-circles over
stnbblefields in search of partridges.
He had dropped professionalism, and
was a pure dog a dog to the heart.
He had thrown back till the deepest.

and simplicity, and faithfulness. -

PHARMACY. '
Organizing Tobacco Growers.
Charles E. Fuller, in Progressive Farmer.
I have read with much interest and
profit every copy of your paper since
I became a subscriber. Was espe
cially entertained by the issue of
March 1st. Now, as I am a tobacco
farmer in a small way I am naturally
most interested m the timely ques
tion asked by Dr. Freeman, of Wil
son: How are the tobacco farmers
to be organized and who is to do it?
Indeed, 1 do not pretend to know,
and am about to conclude that we,
as a whole, are the most pitiable set
of, producers upon the face of the
earth. Truly the cotton and grain
armera have some natural advan
tages over us, but the greatest vic
tory that has come to them, as I te-
leve, was born of a greater spirit of
brotherly love and kindness. There
6eems to be something in the make
up of the producers of "food and
raiment that stimulates them to
nobler and more fixed purpose than
we have been able so far to demon
strate.
However, we ought to do better,
and in fact, must do so, because ere
long, with the department of graft
which has crept into the tobacco bus
iness, our houses and fields will be left
unto us desolate.
There are times when we might be
organized, and the3T are when starva
tion and ruination stare us boldly in
the face, and demand the last penny.
Not particularly the small .farmer,
for bankruptcy to him, as a rule, is
diiily fare; but' the well-to-do farmer
who, if he would, could easily fling
aloft the --banner of his own success
and lead legions of his less fortunate
brethren to a glorious overcoming.
But it is only when it was his ox
that was gored that the farmers
could be permanently and thorough
ly organized.
1 have been so otten engaged m an
effort to organize ourselves, and be
ing anxious to divine aright the poli
cies or men with whom i- nave oeen
associated, I am thus often reminded
of a little poem which runs like
this:
When the devil was sick, the devil a saint
would be. .
When the devil got well, the devil of a saint
was ne.
Indeed, brother tobacco farmers, it
is a nurning shame that v.e nave
allowed our tobacco invoices to be
converted into Ipttery tickets' There
is no apparent reason why the prices
of particular grades of sobacco should
not lie as stable as that of stated
grades of cotton. And just at this
point 1 would suggest that t lie surest
way to attain this end is, ior tne
farmers xf this and other States to
rise up in their majestic power and
demand laws at the hands of our
legislators that will regulate this
matter.
We can do it indirectly, if no other
way. Then why not: i know my
letter is alreadytoo long, but before
close let me give the tobacco grow
ers some information which, has come
to nie within the last few "days. 1
read in one of my papers, published
in Kansas, that the independent to
bacco retail dealers of New England
have been notified by the Tobacco
Trust that they must' not handle to
bacco made by any firm outside of
the trust. I was also told by a Vir-
rriniti triiroliniiQom'in wrbfi fblimoil to
have been on the inside, that the
American Tobacco Company kept on
secret files in its offices a list of
premiums grading upward to be
awarded respectively to the agents
or buyers who at the end of the sea
son could show the lowest average
purchase price of leaf.
1 do not know this to be true, but
in an prooamnty it is; at least it
looks so in the market down this
way. "
Did you ask what has become of
the Alliance in Vance? And are you
interested in the post mortem inves
tigations of other farmers' clubs?
This humble message, if properly
interpreted, will tell the story, in con
clusion, Brother "Bacco-MaiM" how
are we to be organized, and who is
going to do it? With best wishes to (
the Progressive farmer and Dr. ree
man and all his kind.

Which is the More Civilized?
Everybody's Magazine for April.
Some worthy persons fear that the
Japanese, whom they deem to be
"heathen in their blindness," would
be "the yellow peril" and "a menace
to civilization if they should -beat
Russia. Which is the more civilized
nation, Russia or Japan? Without
dwelling on such precious Russian
services to civilizationas the murder
of Poland, the oppression and sup
pression of Finland, the persecution
of Jews and Armenians, look at Rus

as big as Japan in territory, thrice
as big m population; and Japan
sends three times as many children
to the elementary schools. Japaujs

CORN STALK PAPER.
The Fiber Used as Substitute for
Wood Pulp Farther Has His Corn
Shucked for One Dollar an Acre In
the Field.
Kankakee, 111., Dispatch to Chicago Record
Herald. A Maine paper mill is making pa
per from Illinois corn stalks that sells
as high as 8 cents a pound, the result
of a' new farm operation that prom
ises great results. It is a farm mat
ter in that use of stalk for paper re
sults in the farmer having his corn
husked for f 1 an acre instead of 3
cents a bushel and in having gathered
into his bam all of the fodder that is
really desirable for feeding "purposes.
- For years the paper manufacturers
have known that the corn stalk pro
duces a fiber that is valuable for paper-making
purposes, but up to a
year or so ago they were at a loss to
know how to cook it to advantage.
To cook the shell of thecorn stalk to
the proper consistency would over
cook the pith. Neither could the
leaves or husks be cooked with thel
stalk without spoiling some compo
nent part.
About eight vears ago Oeorge K.
Sherwood, of Kearney. Neb., began
giving the subject of utilizing corn
stalks considerable thought, rrom
his seat in a railroad car he looked
out over the great wastes of corn
stalks and tried to figure out the
solution of putting them to valuable
use. Later he consulted a Chicago
chemist named William Hoskins, and
the two set to work to devise a plan
by which the shell of the corn stalk
and the pith could be prepared for
paper making seperately. To do this
it would be necessary to separate the
pith from the shell, and it would have
to be done by machinery. A score or
more of such machines were experi
mented with.
About a year ago a piece of mechan
ism was completed and set to work,
with the result that nearly 100 tons
of the finest grades of paper have been
made from stalks that grew in Kanka
kee county. 111. The quality of this
paper is such as to make it available
for nearly all of the purposes of a
printer or bookmaker. 1 he character
of the pith production is slightly dif
ferent irom tnat oi tne sneii. one
errade of it- has been found desirable
for grocers' use in covering lard or
butter. A larire proportion of the
paper that has been made came from
the rJOli crop oi corn stalks.
It was first thought best to induce
the farmer to haul his corn fodder to
the plant in Kankakee, have the corn
husked and then hauling the leaves
and the husks back to the farm i for
Millet s-sf fa rf rTTr hrhnrovor I
lioTTorl f VioT'o urua n mnoVi Kott-r lnn I
one that was calculated to enlist the
co-operation of the farmers. He per-
fected a machine the province of which
i'a r ho rmnlArl r.rv the farm, set, tin
nF the hnrn nnd thpn hn.nl the
shocks of fodder to the machine, just
as the thrashing people naui oats or
.... . i
other rrrain. me loader is iea into
the machine, swiftly driven by steam
power.
The first act of the contrivances is
to snap off the ears of the corn stalk
and to drop them into a double con
veyor, which carries the ears along
endways, skinning off the husks as
thev pass along. Scarcely a shred is
left on an ear, the great bulk of the
vellow ears comintr out without a
vestirre of their former covering.
What little shelling is done in the op
eration the machine saves the grains
and deposits them in a box at the
side. The ears are run by machinery
into a wagon box, in which they are
hauled away.
After having clipped off the ears the
machine runs the stalks to the rear,
depositing them side by side on a
table. Automatically the machine
rolls them into a bundle that is pushed
into a binder operated on the same
principle as that of the binding
machinery of a harvester. The bundle
of stalks, as clean as fish poles, is
tied with a hemp cord and dropped
to the side of the machine.
The leaves and husks of the fodder
are dropped on an endless belt that
carries them to the mouth of a blow
pipe, the function of which is to blow
this material into the barn oi the
farmer, who finds in it some of the
finest feed stuff that his farm pro
duces.
For thus husking his corn and
blowing the part fit for cattle ftvd into
the barn the farmer p;tystli? machine
man 1 an acre and tiim. over the
stalks to the latter free of charge,
The machine will clean up bix acres
of about 130 shocks of corn a day
The stalks, which have now become
the property of thehusker.are hauled
or snipped to tne piani at ivanKaitee
and are conveyed to an upper room,
where they are led into a machine
that separates the pit h from the shell
of the stalk. Two knives that are
driven at great speed saw the pith
from the staik that has been rolled
flat, so that every particle of the pith
has "been taken out. lhe pith is
dropped into one bin and the shell
into another.
They are baled seperately and ship
ped- to the paper factory in' Main,
wnere eacn is ireaieu uccoruing 10 a
particular process m making paper.
At first the husker and depittnng
machines were-combined iu one, the
first idea being to bring all of the fod
der to the plant. Then it was found
to be more desirable to do the husk
ing on the farm and the depithing in
the plant, and they were separated.
It is believed that one of the huskers
may be perfected to 6trip and husk
fifteen acres a day and will turn out
in a single autum COO tons of pre
pared corn sralks. A paper mill with
a daily capacity of 100 tons of fin
ished paper will require C0,000 tons
of corn stalks annually. It is e-ti-
mated that tbe;totai output of the
paper mills of this country is 3,000,-
000 tons annually.
